I have a set with 2 dressers (one with mirror),dressing table with mirror and stool, side chair, night table, head board and foot board. It is made of oak, aspen and gold plated hardware. Beautiful art deco set from 1930's and in pretty good shape.Where can I find out the value and where should I sell it?
Answer Jim - That is a nice looking set. However, Northern Furniture has not retained a great deal of value over the years. Here is a link to a two piece Art Deco Northern set that sold last year at auction for $275 for the dresser and chest.
